You have decided not to breastfeed your baby or nourish him within partially in order to benefit the father of this moment of intimacy. When to give her milk in what quantity? Now is the time to master the bottle of the bottle!
When welcoming their first child, many mothers are faced with a dilemma: the choice between breast or artificial milk? Know that this is a choice specific to each which does not upset the relationship between the mother you are and your baby. If you have opted for infant milk, do not feel guilty. All contain the nutritional elements essential to your child’s growth and health!
From its birth to its 5th month, your child’s diet is exclusively based on artificial milk and its daily needs are constantly evolving.
– From 0 to 1 month, baby drinks on average 50 to 60 ml of milk up to 10 times a day, during the first 2 weeks, then 90 ml in 6 to 8 bottles.
– from 1 to 2 months, he drinks 5 to 6 bottles from 120 to 160 ml,
– from 2 to 3 months, his meals are made up of 5 bottles from 150 to 180 ml,
– from 3 to 4 months, 4 bottles from 180 to 210 ml or 5 bottles from 150 to 180 ml,
– From 4 to 5 months, you can give your child 4 bottles from 210 to 240 ml or 5 bottles of 180 ml
– From 6 months, baby drinks approximately 900 ml in 4 sockets.
The majority of early childhood specialists believe that you have to adopt a certain flexibility with regard to baby meals schedules, at least during the first weeks. Rest assured: after the first month, the frequencies of his meals should become more regular. Offer him a bottle every two to three hours at the beginning, or when he seems to be hungry, but do not wake him up if he is deeply asleep!
– Wash the bottle using a clean bottle, with water and dishwashing liquid before first use and after each feeding. Indeed, finished or not, the milk must be thrown because it does not keep.
– Dry the bottle in the open air on a sewer for example and wash your hands before taking the bottle.
– For the mixed water mixture powder, refer to information on the powdered milk box. Fill the bottle with mineral water to the graduation of the prescribed dose, then use the meal of the milk box to pour the right dose. Be sure to pass a knife on the meal spoon so as not to force the dose.
– Shake the bottle well to avoid the formation of lumps by driving it in your hands. If you heat the bottle, beware of the microwave: the bottle may seem lukewarm to the touch while the milk is hot. Check the temperature in the palm of your hand to prevent it from happening.
– If out, you can fill the bottle with the right amount of water and transport the dose of milk powder aside. The bottle can be reconstituted at the desired time.
| Favor weakly mineralized mineral water, mentioning “is suitable for the preparation of infants’ diet”. To sterilize the bottle, the easiest way is to use a sterilizer, on previously washed bottles. |
There are a plethora of bottles, but it is recommended to choose a model that respects the NF 315 standard, guaranteeing their quality and their ergonomics. It is then a question of choosing the material. Glass bottles rarely stride and do not turn yellow after their dishwasher. On the other hand, they are heavy and beware of falls. In plastic, the bottles are light, unbreakable, but quickly object.
What form to choose? Before buying the baby bottle, do not hesitate to take it in hand to opt for the model that suits you best. Classic bottles are round, but your baby will find it difficult to hold them if he has hints of independence.
He will appreciate the ergonomic models more. Triangular bottles do not slip and easily clean. In addition, the bent versions help prevent airports. If you hesitate between young and old bottles, know that it is better to favor the models that contain between 240 and 250 ml. Opt for bottles that have the most visible graduation possible and don’t forget to buy a smaller model to give your child fruit juices when it is a little larger.
If your baby seems to have a stomach ache after meals, turn to anti-colic models: some have an S shape in order to facilitate continuous food. Finally, be sure to split the meals and give it the bottle by placing it as much as possible in the vertical position.
Instant of complicity, the meal at the bottle must be a moment of calm. Do not leave the phone ringtone or the television disturbing you and sit in an inexpensive place. Your baby’s head must rest in the hollow of your arm and his face should be turned to you. Place the pacifier on and not under the tongue and check the tank inclination so that there is no air in the pacifier. Remember to check throughout the meal that the milk is always going well. If your baby insistently refuses to drink his bottle, do not insist and above all do not force him. He will undoubtedly catch up with the next meal!
During each bottle, your baby swallows air and the rot allows him to remove the overflow that has accumulated in the upper part of his stomach. To facilitate the digestion of your child, hold it in a standing position, gently pressed against your shoulder. The bottom of the baby chin should touch the top of your collarbone. By supporting your buttocks with your forearm, lightly tap your back and walk in the house while keeping it in this position. After a few minutes, the long -awaited rot should relieve it! If he fiddles and manifests some discomfort, adopt another position. You can then sit on your knees, slightly leaning forward, leaning on your hand. Some tapping behind his back will end his embarrassment.
